Gopher hockey beat Denver tonight, 5-2. It was great - I'd forgotten how much I like hockey! My sister and her family are in town for the weekend, and my niece is a HUGE hockey fan and getting to be a good player, too.
It was an evening full of serendipity - first we got free parking in the lot right across from the Xcel Center courtesy of the Dex phonebook. My brother in law, who was driving, said, "hey, thanks! What's Dex?" Then we got two free skybox tix from Dex. It was crazy, since we ALREADY had tix, but no one seemed to be looking for tickets, so we rotated up and down out of the box.
I'd never had a luxury sporting event experience before and it was a trip! Free food all elegantly laid out in warming trays where appropriate, tables and chairs to sit at before the game, comfortable stadium-style seats, awesome view. The crowd was friendly and family-oriented, not like the beer-infused, brawl-oriented crowd you get in Boston.
Now we want to go to more games - but we hear hockey is sold out for the season. Maybe women's hockey? That would be more fun anyway.
